An appearance related clause makes sense as to why we're not playing him. I'm happy we're looking to develop Barco and Facu instead to be honest

It's very disappointing just how little he's featured. What a remarkable fall he has had. Personally I prefer to see players like O'Mahoney get time. Let's bring through Facu and Enciso. Let's learn from this and stick to the policy of bringing our own young players through

Very difficult to know what the dynamic is, but I would always want a manager willing and capable of facing down big name players and I'd want the club to back him up on this. Thankfully this is what seems to be happening

There's a difference with a loan player. He's going back at the end of the season. If Barco is acting like an arse, (and that's a big if) I support RDZ in keeping him out of the squad for the rest of the season to concentrate the lads mind. In the summer, the players turn up again for pre...

It's very hard to get reliable reports of whatever bust up has occurred. Though, the fact that he's had Peupion in the squad over him so he can "to work on his fitness" says to me that this experiment is over And it's good that it's over. We need to be bringing through our own players...

I guess will play against Brentford, but i admit I was surprised too

It's not just elite footballers. It applies to business people / millionaires anyone with money and status. This isn't just me saying this, studies have found it. The thing that motivates people with money and status is to have more money and status than their peers. The you and I logic of...

It doesn't matter if he's right. We ain't getting the fella for free however it was structured

I'm pretty critical of Fati, but I totally accept injuries and inexperience will have played a part. As has being shunted out on the left. The reason i'm critical is that I think we should expect a higher standard from loan players. If they aren't well ahead of what we've got, then let's not...

More Buononotte, Enciso and Barco Less Fati please

I think there's something in this. His attitude when he got here was spot on. Post injury, he's throwing his arms up in the air and milling around the pitch not really contributing.

I don't think we should take up another loan, even if one was on offer to us. His injury record is so bad, what are the chances of him playing more than half of the season for us? Barca are the ones who have given him a big contract. Let them worry about getting him fit and back in form. We...

Yesterday was the day when I decided we're better off without the fella. I totally take your point about recovery from injury and young Ansu might go on to live up to his promise, but at the moment he is miles off where we need him to be. He's also in effect our top earner. I'd much prefer...

Writing him off is stupid after a first start in months on a return from injury. You can say the loan spell has been disappointing so far, to infer that he won't contribute anything for the rest of the season is dumb

Yes. He did look match fit

Possibly less so than we were 24 hours ago

I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt. Rustiness is understandable as that was his first start for a very long time. He’ll be getting plenty of others soon enough. If he doesn’t make a better impression in the coming games I’ll be agreeing with Naylor

I just wonder if under the bright lights of the europa league, we might see a much improved performance

Massively disappointing tonight. He'll get more chances because we're running out of players and we're paying him a fortune, but that was a shocking performance.

Lots of aging players have taken a pay cut, because they are on the way down. None have done so to help out the club who gave them the contract
